The tall first turns off people with 3.xx gears.

Glad to hear it worked out good for ya bud.. what exactly was done with the trans as far as the shifting side of things.. did you do a hd2, bump up the shift pressures from the tune?

Well the trans does great!!! But now i am back to my orginal issue when the built trans blew. I have a drive line vibration under heavy load... I measured my pinion angle and it is pretty far off. The driveshaft was at 0* and the rearend was pointing up 6-7*... I raised the tranny some to get it to -2* (pointing down to the rearend) and i added some 4* shims to the rear end.. The vibration is better but not gone... I am gonna order some different shims and go from there.

I used part of the HD2 kit, basically just the springs. I reused the stock separator plate, i just drilled the fed holes slightly bigger. I did not use the boost valve or the relief spring thingy... I used sonnax parts instead...

Do you think the stall speed is too low or too high? Honestly i would not want to go any bigger because i daily drive it... My wife is allready gonna bitch about it cause it stays in the upper RPMs now and it is louder..
